The middle entries cannot be found unless the data entries are first ordered. 20) The heights (in inches) of 10 adult males are listed below. Find the sample standard deviation of 20) the data set. 70 72 71 70 69 73 69 68 70 71 A) 3 B) 2.38 C) 1.49 D) 70 21) The weights (in pounds) of 30 preschool children are listed below. Find the interquartile 21) range of the 30 weights listed below. What can you conclude from the result? 25 25 26 26.5 27 27 27.5 28 28 28.5 29 29 30 30 30.5 31 31 32 32.5 32.5 33 33 34 34.5 35 35 37 37 38 38 Q 1 =28 Q 3 =34 IQR = Q 3 -Q 1 = 34-28 = 6. This means that the weights of the middle half of the data set vary by 6 pounds. 6

Draw a box-and-whisker plot that 22) represents the data. 31 41 45 48 52 55 56 56 63 65 67 67 69 70 70 74 75 78 79 79 80 81 83 85 85 87 90 92 95 99 31 56 72 83 99 23) Use the box-and-whisker plot below to determine which statement is accurate. Answer: D 23) A) About 25% of the adults have cholesterol levels of at most 211. B) About 75% of the adults have cholesterol levels less than 180. C) One half of the cholesterol levels are between 180 and 197.5. D) One half of the cholesterol levels are between 180 and 211. 7
